Fifteenth Street: 1918
Washington, D.C., in 1918. "Fifteenth Street." Motoring past the Treasury Building with chains on. Harris & Ewing Collection glass negative. View full size.
Town Car
The car in the foreground (with one tire chain) is a 1917/18 Ford Model T Town Car, essentially a Fliver Limousine, I never understood who would buy a car with such obvious pretensions. Perhaps it was early enough in the era of motordom that simply owning an automobile was impressive enough.
A son overseas
Note the service star in the back window of that runabout.
Proof Positive ...
that our Treasury has been on a slippery slope for a long time.
Cheaped out
Looks like our friend in the back here is saving some dough. Only has a chain on one rear wheel.
Downtown D.C. 1918
No question, the people dressed better.
